Step into the season of evergreen beauty and slow crafting. Join Anthea Thornber of The Secret Garden for an immersive, hands‑on Winter Wreath Workshop.
Anthea, whose garden is tucked into the hills of the Pennines, grows and forages many of the materials she uses in her floristry. She brings that ethos and experience into every workshop. In this class, she’ll share the techniques she’s refined over her years of growing, designing, and making.
What you’ll do & learn
Start by crafting your own base hoop from the finest English willow, using traditional weaving techniques under Anthea’s guidance.
From her own garden or floristry studio, you’ll choose from a curated selection of flowers, foliage, berries, seed pods, and natural accents to decorate your wreath.
Anthea will guide you in composition, balance, color harmony and practical techniques to make your wreath last.
You’ll gain insight on sustainability: discovering natural, eco‑friendly materials, avoiding plastics and choosing alternatives that are kind to the planet.
All material and tools are included, just bring your creativity and enthusiasm!
By the end, you’ll walk away with a bespoke, winter‑inspired wreath (size depending on your hoop) ready to adorn your home or gift with pride.
Important Notes:
Good mobility in hands and feet is required; you’ll be standing while working.
Please wear old, non-dangly clothes, covered-toe shoes (no sandals), and minimal or no jewellery.
